Michael Olayinka Abdul, the Nigerian gospel singer better known as Mike Abdul, is set to release a new track titled ‘Fuji Rush’.
According to a statement on Wednesday, ‘Fuji Rush’ will be available on all major streaming platforms from June 20.
The track features a blend of the Fuji genre and celebration of African gospel sound.
Speaking about the track, Abdul said: “Taking the church to the streets is what we do.”
“Fuji Rush is another expression of that mission. If you can carry your body in praise, carry it with Fuji Rush,” he added.
Mike Abdul is known for AfroGospel hits like ‘Korede’, ‘Morire’, ‘I Can Carry My Body’, and ‘30 Billion Halleluyah’.
His work blends gospel messages with traditional African rhythms and contemporary styles.
When asked how he continues to create genre-blending gospel music, Abdul said: “Well, I’m doing a masterclass on that soon. But to be honest, I am as surprised as you are. I don’t know how it happens.”
“From a spiritual standpoint, I would say that I just step out of the way when God is trying to pass a message through me,” he said.
“There have been many times when I have had strong impressions in my Spirit to go in a certain direction. And it didn’t make sense to me from a music business perspective, but whenever I yield to this leading, and I let God have His way, the result is always amazing.”
Abdul kicked began his career in 2001, when he and three others founded ‘The Midnight Crew’, a gospel music group.
He has worked with several Nigerian gospel artistes, including MoniQue and Tim Godfrey.
